Hello hello hello!

It's been a while since I last made a dish, I have been extremely busy during the holidays that I haven't had the time to bussle in the kitchen!

Today is New Year's eve and I have lots of free time, hence, the special lunch I was able to cook for my husband and I. This recipe is very easy to make, and it beats the usual fast fried chicken recipe! (Read On by clicking Read More -->)
Yield: Makes 12 patties

INGREDIENTS:

1 egg
Kasugai Panko Bread Crumbs

4. Scoop a serving with your hand z mixture and form a ball. Press down on Panko bread crumbs and coat both sides with the crumbs forming your desired patty size. These patties will be soft so handle with care.

5. Heat the oil in low heat. Test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of Panko on the oil. If it starts to bubble, your oil is ready.

Fry your patties until golden brown on each side. The low, slow cooking oil will cook your meat properly without burning the crusts. When cooked, lay them flat on a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper towels.

6.
In a heavy bottomed pan, add the plum sauce first. Set your heat on low.

7.
Add the pineapple chunks including the water.

8. Add the hot chili into the pot and stir continuously to avoid burning at the bottom of the pan.

Add the rest of the ingredients and boil until the sauce becomes thick. Remember, not to over cook the sauce because the fruits might get soggy. The sauce will get thicker as it cools.

Either drizzle on your patties before serving, or serve in a separate serving dish.
